What does "Reset due to power-on event" means?

Postby crgarcia » Sun Aug 07, 2022 7:37 pm

I have an ESP32 with ESPHome.
From time to time, it resets by itself. I suspect a problem with power or spikes (since many times it happens exactly after energizing a relay.
When I read the reset_reason, I get

Code: Select all

[21:20:13][D][debug:199]: Reset Reason: Power On Reset
[21:20:13][D][debug:244]: Wakeup Reason: Unknown
What does it actually means?

Some more logs:

Code: Select all

[21:20:13][D][debug:061]: ESPHome version 2022.6.2

2 possible reasons:
- power supply problems, or just disconnect and reconnect power supply
- EN pin connected to GND
